Abstract

A vertical curtain cutter includes at least a base and a mold cutting device fixed on the base, which consists of a clamper, a knife and a motor. The clamper has a stationary clamp block and a movable clamp block, and the stationary clamp block has a flat clamp surface at one side and a curved clamp surface at other side. As a result, the movable clamp block and the stationary clamp block can clamp between them the rolled curtain cloth or folded-up curtain cloth. The cloth is vertically inserted by reversing the flat surface and the curved surface of the stationary clamp block. The motor can drive the knife to shift towards the curtain cloth and cut it, so that the cutter is able to cut either rolled or folded-up curtain cloth into multiple curtain pieces.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A vertical curtain cutter comprising:
 a base; and 
 a mold cutting device fixed on said base, the mold cutting device being configured to allow both rolled curtain cloth and folded-up curtain cloth to be inserted vertically into said molding device, said cutting device having a knife configured to be both moved laterally toward said curtain cloth and cut said curtain cloth wherein said mold cutting device comprises a clamper and a motor, said clamper is provided with an insert hole for securing said rolled curtain cloth or said folded-up curtain cloth by clamping, said motor being configured to drive said knife to both move towards and cut said rolled curtain cloth or said folded-up curtain cloth, wherein said clamper has a clamper body, a tighten handle, a movable clamp block and a stationary clamp block, said clamp body is provided with an insert hole in the center portion and a limit switch at a proper location for sensing the location of said knife moving so that said knife may automatically be returned to its original position, and said tighten handle rotates with respect to said clamp body for moving said movable clamp block by rotating, wherein said stationary clamp block is inserted in said movable clamp block, having a flat clamp surface at one side and a curved clamp surface at the other side so that said stationary clamp block may have its flat clamp surface for clamping folded-up curtain cloth and its curved clamp surface for clamping rolled curtain cloth by matching with said movable clamp block. 
 
   
   
     2. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a sustain frame is further provided on said base, said sustain frame having a stationary rod extending up from said base and a clamper fixed around said stationary rod, said clamper having a limit base facing said clamper of said mold cutting device for clamping stably said rolled curtain cloth or said folded-up curtain cloth. 
   
   
     3. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a side cap remover is further provided on said base, having a position base, a stationary plate and a movable plate, said stationary plate fixed on one side of the position base for securing the front end of said rolled curtain cloth, said movable plate pivotally connected to the other side of said position base to be secured at the other side of said side cap by pivotal rotation so as to clamp the two sides of said side cap to permit said rolled curtain cloth to easily separate from said side cap in case of said rolled curtain cloth being pulled outward. 
   
   
     4. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said knife further has an interacting rod to be shifted by said motor and having a knife base fixed at its end, and said knife base has a blade, possible to slide moving on said clamper. 
   
   
     5. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said stationary rod has a ruler fixed on one side of an upper portion, and a sleeve is fitted movable around said stationary rod and has a stop block provided movable around its lower end for receiving a lower end of either rolled curtain cloth or folded-up curtain cloth, said stop block can duly rotate in case of said knife being moved forward so that cut curtain piece may fall down, and said stop block can automatically be returned to its original position in case of said knife retreated, and a tighten grip is provided at an upper portion for tighten or loosen said sleeve to said stationary rod. 
   
   
     6. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a magnifying lens is further provided on a proper location of said sleeve for magnifying said ruler. 
   
   
     7. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said limit base of said sustain frame is provided with an insert hole for clamping the upper end of the roll curtain cloth or the folded-up curtain cloth. 
   
   
     8. The vertical curtain cutter as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an up-down adjusting unit is further provided for matching said sleeve, consisting of a base tube connected to said base at a lower end, an up-down base fixed on said base tube, said up-and-down base is connected with a wind handle, which then rotates a gear wheel engaging with a rack connected to said sleeve, so that rotation of said wind handle can move up and down said sleeve.
